Nokishita Toshokan is the home base for our yoga offerings — a place where practice is rooted in presence, relationship, and lived experience rather than performance.
Set in the quiet rhythm of rural Japan, our yoga programs invite you to move slowly, listen deeply, and reconnect with the intelligence of your body and breath.
Our approach blends therapeutic yoga, mindful movement, breathwork, and seasonal wisdom to create a grounded, embodied learning environment suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Small-Group Yoga Classes
Our yoga classes are intentionally kept small to allow for individual attention and a supportive atmosphere.
Classes may include:
-
Therapeutic asana with a focus on safe alignment
-
Breath awareness and pranayama
-
Somatic and mindful movement
-
Gentle strength, mobility, and rest
Rather than fixed sequences, classes adapt to the season, the group, and the moment — offering a practice that meets you where you are.

Seasonal Retreats
Our retreats offer time and space to step out of daily routines and reconnect with what matters most.
Each retreat is shaped by the season and may include:
-
Daily yoga and meditation
-
Breathwork and embodied inquiry
-
Quiet time for rest, reflection, and walking
-
Nourishing home-cooked meals
-
Optional cultural or artisan experiences
Retreats at Nokishita Toshokan are not about doing more, but about creating the conditions for clarity and renewal.
